1. GConnect Rules
The GConnect company believe in people, who act with integrity, produce first quality products, makes effective
collaboration with co-workers and customers and efficient science. We are always working on optimizing our business
processes. We maximize efficient and quality by minimizing bureaucracy in internal politics.
Being honest and direct is how we communicate, always considering respect as the greatest achievable value. We never
miss out on an opportunity to point out the importance of knowledge and education, always supporting our employees if
they look to further strengthen themselves in this area.
We believe that efficiency is key for every company, which can only be achieved through organizing each team thoroughly
and setting the right priorities. Each employee has to be fully aware what is expected of her/him, putting their full attention
to the task at hand. In exchange our company provides an above-average working environment and makes every possible
